Busy Girl

This is a video Ashley took of Alexis kicking and moving around.  It's rare footage of her actually awake.  She has times throughout the day where she is really awake, and then those times (usually more so after she eats) where she's dead to the world.

Video of Alexis in Hospital - Hiccups

I took this video one late, late night when Alexis was restless and wouldn't sleep - obviously because she had the hiccups. I thought it was so cute, and its crazy because she usually gets the hiccups every time after she finishes a bottle, and the last 2 weeks that I was pregnant she had the hiccups everyday. Hopefully the video works, its my first time attaching a video on here!

2 Week Doctor Check-Up

We just got back from the doctor's this morning, and Alexis is doing great! The doctor was really pleased with her weight gain and how she's looking!  

She now weight's 8 lbs. 5 oz. and is 22 inches long!  She's growing like a weed!  Her belly button is looking good, she just has a little bit of umbilical cord 'gunk' left on it.  She also has moved up from the baby Swaddlers to the size 1, as I found the Swaddlers were cutting in to her legs and leaving marks on them.

I'm really excited to see her grow, and sad at the same time, as I want to keep her this small forever! She is starting to fit into some more of her clothes, other than the preemie onesie pajamas that she seems to live in since nothing else fits her.  

I lots more pictures to post, but as always, I have to find time to get them on here.  Here are a couple that Ashley and I took of her at my parents house.  It was our own make shift photo shoot!

Finally a Nice Day to get Outside!

We finally had nice weather today (+14 degrees) so Ashley and I took this opportunity to go for a nice walk and break in the new stroller.  We decided to stop by the daycare so all my kids (from work) could see Alexis.

The kids were so excited to finally see 'Allison's baby', it was really cute!  Anyways, here are some pictures from our walk!

Public Health Nurse Visit

On Monday we had a public health nurse come to visit at the house, just to answer any questions we had and she would check Alexis out.

It was a really great meeting, she was super nice to start off with and she was able to answer all my questions (I had a half a sheet of paper of questions).  She weighed Alexis and we found that she is now 7 lbs. 10 oz. which is great.  She said baby's should be gaining an ounce a day, and so Alexis was right on target.  She was really please with everything and gave me some good advice since I am pumping and was feeling kind of guilty about it.  It really put my mind at ease that I knew Alexis was getting enough food and apparently growing like a weed!  By Saturday she could be 8 lbs already!!!!  It's so hard to believe!

I think Alexis is also going through a growth spurt these last couple of days, which they said is normal around the 2 week mark.  She has been wanting to eat more often and closer together compared to when she first came home.  Oh I wish she could stay this small forever!!!
